Wang Can got up early and went to the city tower for inspection. As the night passed, the soldiers who patrolled last night had already begun to change their posts and another group of soldiers were stationed.
Peng Yue got up early and stood next to Wang Can, saying: "Your Majesty, we have captured Chen Ping. Liu Bang's plan to disintegrate Luoxian County from within has been defeated. Should we take the initiative next?"
"No!"
Wang Can still shook his head.
Although Wang Can now takes the initiative, he still remains awake.
There is no need for him to take the initiative.
What's more, Liu Bang is stronger, and it will be very difficult for Wang Can to defeat Liu Bang from the front with Luo County's troops. Furthermore, with Cao Cao, Han Xin, Guo Jia and others outside, there is no need for Wang Can to rush.
Go into battle.
If you boil him, you can boil Liu Bang to death.
When it's time to go to war, Wang Can will not show mercy.
When it’s time to be cautious, Wang Can will be cautious.
Peng Yue nodded in agreement and went to arrange the soldiers. His arrangements were all based on Wang Can's wishes. Therefore, Wang Can did not plan to send troops, so he prepared for defense.
Wang Can continued everything as usual, without any panic.
However, outside the county town, in the camp where the Han army was stationed.
Liu Bang was a little anxious.
Chen Ping entered Luo County, and people would send news every day, but last night, Chen Ping did not send any news back.
This situation made Liu Bang very worried.
Liu Bang called Zhang Liang and said: "Zhang Qing, there was no news from Chen Ping last night. I'm worried whether something unexpected happened to Chen Ping or was discovered by Han Xin?"
Zhang Liang said: "Your Majesty, this is not the case. Chen Ping is cautious and very astute. It is almost impossible for Han Xin to catch Chen Ping."
Liu Bang said: "But why is there no news?"
Zhang Liang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do about this situation. According to my plan, we will wait and see for a day. If there is still no news about Chen Ping tonight, then Chen Ping will be in some danger. Tomorrow,
We will march to the city and give Han Xin a try."
"That's fine!"
Liu Bang nodded in agreement.
Liu Bang spent this day in anxiety, worry, and uneasiness.
After nightfall, Liu Bang became increasingly nervous.
Even for dinner, Liu Bang didn't eat much. He swallowed two mouthfuls of rice and then stopped eating.
In the tent, the dim candlelight swayed gently, dispersing the darkness in the tent.
Liu Bangku was sitting in the main seat, listlessly flipping through the folding notes he had received.
"Tap! Tread!"
A sound of footsteps came from outside the tent.
After Liu Bang heard the footsteps, he perked up and looked towards the door of the tent. He saw the curtain of the tent rolled up and Xia Houying strode in. He clasped his fists and bowed to Liu Bang and said, "Xia Houying, please pay homage to your majesty.
"
"It is you!"
Liu Bang sighed when he saw it was Xia Houying.
Zhang Liang is responsible for the news about Chen Ping. If Zhang Liang had not entered, there would be no news about Chen Ping.
Liu Bang asked: "Xiahou, what's the matter?"
Xia Houying replied: "Your Majesty, I have just received news from the Prime Minister, saying that food is being dispatched. A new batch of food will be delivered within half a month."
Liu Bang said: "I know, you can arrange it."
"Here!"
Xia Houying responded.
Immediately, Xia Houying said: "Your Majesty, is there no news from Master Chen yet?"
Xia Houying also knew about Chen Ping.
Liu Bang said: "No!"
Hearing this, Xia Houying advised: "Mr. Chen has his own good fortune, and nothing will happen to him. In the end, it may be that something happened to Mr. Chen, or there was martial law in the city, etc., so no news came back.
"
Liu Bang said: "I hope so!"
Xia Houying left without saying much.
In the camp, Liu Bang was sitting alone.
As time passed by, the expression on Liu Bang's face became more and more helpless and impatient. He was living like a year now, and felt that every moment was suffering because he could not wait for news about Chen Ping.
In the early morning, Liu Bang's heart had sunk to the bottom.
No news yet!
At this time, Liu Bang had already begun to worry about Chen Ping's safety. After staying up all day, his energy was already sluggish. Liu Bang ordered his soldiers to report any news about Chen Ping immediately, and then he went to rest.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning.
After Liu Bang woke up, he suddenly realized that there was no news from Chen Ping. He was a little unsure, so he called the guards stationed at the entrance of the camp and asked, "Did there be any news from Chen Ping last night?"
"No!"
The guard replied respectfully.
When Liu Bang heard this, he immediately withered.
It’s over!
Chen Ping must have fallen into Han Xin's hands.
At this moment, Liu Bang was gnashing his teeth with hatred for Han Xin. Han Xin not only persuaded Peng Yue to surrender, but also captured Chen Ping. It was really hateful.
Liu Bang didn't waste any more time and stood up and said, "Send orders to Xia Houying to assemble the troops and prepare to set off for Luoxian County."
"Here!"
When the bodyguard heard this, he immediately went to inform him.
After Liu Bang finished his breakfast, he put on his armor and left the Chinese army tent and came to the military camp.
At this moment, all the soldiers have gathered.
Liu Bang gave the order and the army set off.
Tens of thousands of elite soldiers left the military camp in a mighty manner and headed straight for the county seat of Luoxian County. When the army approached the city, Liu Bang called Xia Houying and said: "Xiahou, test Han Xin to see if he has captured Chen Ping?"
"Here!"
Xia Houying responded directly.
He rode his horse forward and stopped a hundred steps away from the county seat. Then he looked up at the city tower and said loudly: "Where is Han Xin?"
Wang Can is also on the tower.
Peng Yue looked at Wang Can and said, "Your Majesty, Xia Houying is here, will you reply?"
Wang Can said: "I won't answer him any more. Peng Yue, if you come to answer the question, just say that Xia Houying and I have cut off our ties and won't talk to him anymore."
"Here!"
Peng Yue stepped forward. He stood on the tower, looked at Xia Houying in the distance, and said loudly: "Xia Houying, General Han and you have cut off their robes long ago, and he doesn't bother to talk to you. What do you want to say to General Han?"
"
Xia Houying looked toward the tower. Because it was a hundred steps away, he saw a familiar figure, but he couldn't recognize who it was, so he asked, "Who is coming?"
Peng Yue said: "Peng Yue is right!"
After hearing this, Xia Houying said: "Peng Yue, Your Majesty treats you well, why would you betray Your Majesty?"
When Peng Yue heard this, he couldn't help laughing. After the laughter stopped, he said: "How can Liu Bang treat General Han and me, Peng Yue, unkindly? We are not from Peixian County. We are in Liu Bang's
In the eyes, are we considered human beings? Xia Houying, what you say makes no sense. If Liu Bang treats us well, then go ahead and stop showing off in front of me."
Xia Houying smiled sarcastically.
To be honest, Liu Bang was really not very good at these generals who were not from Pei County.
Most of them died at the hands of Liu Bang.
Especially all the kings from all walks of life were almost wiped out by Liu Bang.
In the end, only King Liu was left.
Xia Houying took a deep breath and continued: "Peng Yue, even if you want to resist, under His Majesty's army, even if you occupy Luo County for a while, you will definitely be defeated."
Xia Houying is talking nonsense now.
He was not in a hurry to attack, he just wanted to get information about Chen Ping.
Wang Can was on the tower, but he heard Xia Houying's words. He chuckled and said, "Xia Houying has been talking nonsense. I guess he probably wanted to test Chen Ping's news. Peng Qing, you can tell them about Chen Ping."
.”
Peng Yue took advantage of the situation and said: "Xia Houying, you talk too much. This is not your style. You, Xia Houying, have always dared to attack the city. According to your style, you should have attacked the city long ago. The reason why you have not attacked for so long is nothing more than
You want to find out about Chen Ping, right?"
After Xia Houying heard this, his eyes narrowed.
I'm afraid Chen Ping is really in trouble.
Xia Houying said in a deep voice: "Peng Yue, I am trying to persuade you to surrender, not talking about Chen Ping."
Peng Yue mocked: "Hypocritical!"
He continued: "Guess, is Chen Ping dead or alive now?"
Xia Houying said disdainfully: "Chen Ping has been in Chengdu and is responsible for assisting the prime minister in handling government affairs. You use Chen Ping's news to talk about things. It's just that you don't want to face reality."
At this time, Xia Houying still refused to admit that Chen Ping had been arrested, and did not mention that he was worried about Chen Ping at all.
As long as he didn't see Chen Ping, he wouldn't let go.
Peng Yue looked at Wang Can who was standing aside, and only heard Wang Can say: "Gag Chen Ping's mouth and bring him up. Since we have captured Chen Ping, there is no need to hide. Let's see how Liu Bang responds."
Peng Yue got the order and issued the order.
After a while, Chen Ping was escorted to the top of the city, but his mouth was blocked and his hands were tied, making it difficult to speak or struggle to move.
Peng Yue stood next to Chen Ping and said loudly: "Xia Houying, did you see it? This is Chen Ping. He sneaked into Luoxian County and actually wanted to plot against General Han. He really brought his own destruction."
Xia Houying's eyes turned and fell on Chen Ping.
It’s really Chen Ping!
At this moment, Xia Houying's heart sank to the bottom, because after Chen Ping was caught, they would be very passive.
At this time, Wang Can stood at the top of the city.
He was far away from Xia Houying, and he was dressed as Han Xin usually did, so he was not afraid of Xia Houying seeing him. He took the call and said loudly: "Xia Houying, Chen Ping is in the hands of the general. Go tell Liu Bang and ask him to come here immediately.
, I will have something to say to him."
Xia Houying asked: "What do you want to tell His Majesty?"
Wang Can said nothing and ignored Xia Houying at all.
Xia Houying had no choice but to come to Liu Bang and said: "Your Majesty, Han Xin wants to see you."
Liu Bang said with a cold face: "I want to see what he has to say."
Immediately, Liu Bang got off the carriage and walked forward. He came to where Xia Houying was before, glanced across the city, and saw Wang Can, Chen Ping and Peng Yue. He also thought Wang Can was Han Xin, after all, he couldn't see clearly.
Face.
Liu Bang said: "Han Xin, I'm here!"
Wang Can said loudly: "Liu Bang, Chen Ping is in my hands. The reason why he was captured was because he wanted to help you defeat me, so he sneaked into the city. Now Chen Ping's life and death are in the control of this general. You, kneel down
Come down and apologize to me, otherwise I will kill Chen Ping. Chen Ping's life and death is in your hands, do you want to kneel down?"
When Liu Bang heard this, his expression changed drastically.
'Han Xin' gave him a difficult problem. If he didn't kneel down, he would be ignoring Chen Ping's life. But if he knelt down, he would have to lose his face. (To be continued)
